About Krausnick

Krausnick might not be on everyone's travel radar, but it hosts one of the largest indoor tropical resorts in the world, the Tropical Islands Resort. This ex-airship hangar transformed into a rainforest paradise attracts visitors looking to escape Germany's actual weather for a taste of summer. Inside, you'll find a beach complete with sand, a wave pool, and palm trees, all created under an artificial sky. The surrounding village is small, more focused on its rural charm than tourism, but it has become a curious intersection of the great outdoors and indoor optimism. Most people come for the novelty of a tropical experience right in the middle of rural Germany, where you can leave your winter coat at the door and trade it for flip-flops, albeit briefly.

Who it's for

Families and those seeking a unique indoor getaway will find their niche here. It can be disappointing if you were hoping for a traditional German village experience, as the focus is squarely on the resort, and the nearby scenery is likely to be less tropical and more pastoral.
